These are Aaeru's "viable business models" for VNs:
> Release a Visual Novel that is free-to-play.
> Lets you choose Option A or Option B (which are both free) but Option C is the special date with the girl (cost $1):
> Make an eroge where there’s a button on the corner of the screen that represents one of the heroines. as soon as you hit the button, you donate $1. 50cents goes to that seiyuu, other 50cents goes towards others (devs etc). So if you particularly like the girl on her route, you spam the $1 button at the corner because you are so moved to. No, You WANT to because she has won your heart!
> During an H-scene, press the $1 button (that appears) to make the girl orgasm harder. The more you press it, the harder she ‘releases’. <--
> The VN is free to play but to start the game, you have to enter your bank account details in. That way, the $1 transfers work On-the-fly.
